I, M22, have been single for about 3 years after a relationship that lasted about 2 years. That was my only real dating experience. Before the relationship I had my having fun era and after the relationship it’s been me focused on personal development. Like anyone I’m not perfect nor will I ever pretend to be, but I’ve worked really hard on myself. I’ve found a lot of success professionally and I’m now getting into much better physical shape. I am at a point in my life where I am wanting to be in a relationship again and really start trying to find my future wife. My struggle is because of work I am currently living in a city I am unfamiliar with and outside of online dating apps (which I despise) I am lost. And to be completely honest I feel as if social media has greatly harmed my perception of women with unrealistic expectations. Anytime I go out to a club or bar with coworkers and friends I often find myself just not enjoying myself. I’m much better socially in a more intimate setting (1 on 1, small gatherings, etc). I know the one will come when she comes, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t eager to share my life with someone. However I have enough restraint to just jump into some Willy nilly. Socially I just feel like a total outcast when it comes to dating because I’ve been working on myself so long that I really have tried to pursue someone seriously since I started my last relationship 5 years ago. To be honest I’m just hoping someone drops some fire shit in here that just resonates with me. I’m an introvert on the surface but can be very extroverted when I’m comfortable with a person.
